neapoliS. last evening. partOOk largely
of the nature of q mixed wrestling
match. That the outcome was draw
is not a surprise, but, under the circum-
stances. is considerable of disappOint-
| ment. There was too little actual fight
ing done to suit the crowd, and it was
clinch and break from the first to last.
If any credit rebounds to either, Glow
should receive it. He stood before
man who had twenty pounds the
best of it in weight, and, if the match
had been for points, would clearly
have won it. On the other hand, he
hardly did himself credit as pugilist.
have landed so frequently without in
tlicting any apparant punishment upon
his opponent. He proved to be a great
general. and got away from Glover's
Sledge-hammer blows with wonderful
too cautious, and kept away from each
other with persistency which
at times called out decided
expressions of disapproval from
the audience. Tw0-Ounce gloves
were used and at the close neither
showed the slightest trace of punish
ment. Glover complained that he had
sprained his left at Milwaukee Friday
night. when he SPARED FlOrrie Barnett,
and was not at his best in consequence,
as he failed to land etfectually at any
time. This probably made little or no
difference with him. About $500 people
were presents. and the receipts
WERE DIVIDED HALF AND HALF.
The preliminary set-tOs were between
the McGughn kids, the Black Pearl, and
Spike Trainer, Charlie Gleason, OF Du-
luth, and Johnnie COnnerS, who Is
matched to box Siddons Friday night.
Gleason went in red hot, slugging right
and left, knocking C0nnors down twice
in the first round, and nearly sending
him to the floor again. When the third
round was reached. Prof. John ii.
Clark jumped in between the two, and
explained to the audience that COnners
was not well and hardly expected a
friendly set-tO. He made slurring re-
mark about Gleason, and the
latter responded through the
master of ceremonies, Jasper johnson.
by offering to meet any 140-pOund man
in the country, Harry Gilmore pre-
ferred. This stirred GilmOre's friends
up, and bunch Of bills was handed up
as forfeit that Gilmore would meet
Gleason at any time and place for any
amount. Young Conley, Patsy
O'Leary's trainer, also made
an offer to meet Gleason:
Gleason's conduct aroused a great deal
of indignation among the pugillsts pres
ent, who declared it dead wrong" that,
weighing twenty-five pounds more than
Conners, he should start in to slug i'll a
friendly set-to. When the tumult sub
sided the crowd got good chance to
compose itself during the wait OF an
hour which preceded the event of the
evening.
THE WRANGLE OVER THE REFEREE,
which had continued all day between
ParsOn Davies, representing Glover.
and w. E. GOOdiDg, representing Glow,
was resumed, and during the delay the
crowd grew very reStiVe, even the
cheering refrains of drum corps fail
ing to restrain its impatience. GOOding
proposed Tom Gallagher, Eddie
Cain, Duplessis. Tommy War
ren, Joe Mannix, j. S. Barnes,
and Mike Haley, of Grand Forks,
but the "ParsOn" objected. GOOding
also objected to Pat COnley, Billy Will
son and John Selby, whom the "Parsoii''
proposed, and at one time it looked as
though there would be no fight. Final
" il was announced that two referees
had been agreed upon, and the master
of ceremonies sarcaStically added that
he hoped this would be enough.
1t was lO:15 when Glow appeared muf-
fled up in his OvercOat. attended
by John Donaldson and Jerry Murphy.
Another vexatiOus delay occurred,
Glover not showing ND for twenty min
utes later, meanwhile the crowd fumed
and hissed until Glover showed up, at
tended by Florric Barnett, his trainer,
and Prof. Clark and ParSOn Davies. his
managers. 1t was announced that }. 5.
Barnes would act as referee for Glow
and that FlOrrie Barnett would act as
referee for Glover. The crowd did not
take kindly to the
TWO REFEREE IDEA
and the fact that Glover had chosen his
own trainer for referee met with some
derision. 'ParsOn" Davies was re-
monstrated with, but was obdurate and
said: That's the only way We'll fight"
Jack Crooks, the ball player, as time
keeper for Glover Frank Hayes for
Glow. Time was called at 10:40.
THE ROUNDS IN DETAIL:
First Round-Both were cautious but
finally Glover let out his left catching
Glow on the breast, he next made a rush
and a clinch resulted and time was
called before the men had faced each
other two minutes.
Second Round - Glow improved in
opinion: he landed on GlOver's chin at
the start and avoided the latter's ruShes.
clearly ducking one ugly swing beauti-
fully. Time was called short fully
minute.
Third Round-This was fair sample
of what was to follow. Glow made two
rushes in succession, landing light
facers. Glover in turn rushed vigOr-
ously. was avoided and went against the
ropes. Glow got away from several sub
sequent ruShes in way that called out
applause. Time, half minute short.
Fourth Round-This was regular
wrestling match. There were number
of rushes on both sides, resulting in
clinches, Glover generally going to the
ropes and no clean hits. Time was held
on this round for the first time correctly.
Fifth Roundabout men rushed re-
peatedly. clinch after ciinch resulted;
no effective work.
Sixth Round-Glover got the worst of
it in rushing. Glow met him squarely
in the face several times and once
swung his right into GlOver's body with
telling force. He also did some clever
ducking.
Seventh Round-ClOw got it in the
nose when he eSSayed to rush. but
evened up by giving Glover two sharp
facerS later on. He showed his wreSt-
ling abilities Off to good advantage by
nearly throwing Glover from the stage,
and the round was clearly his.
Eighth Round-This was the best
